And now, for this week’s prescription:

On this week’s dose, (2:49) we start things off with a discussion on Paradromics, the leading developer of high data-rate brain computer interfaces (BCIs), hot off their $33M Series A. (8:18) Next, we talk about Uncommon Bio, a startup that is taking a unique approach to producing cell-based pork products, and its recent $30M Series A. (14:29) From there, we breakdown Builder.ai’s massive $250M Series D, and how the company leverages AI to make software creation “as easy as ordering a pizza.” (20:40) Lastly, we close out this week’s dose with a discourse on Ecovative, a startup that’s developing materials and food from mycelium at scale, fresh off its $30M Series E.
